When a river floods, its crest is the highest level the floodwaters reach. After the crest, the river level starts going down.
Between July and October.
The time it takes for a creek or river to crest after rain stops depends on various factors such as the intensity and duration of the rainfall, the size of the watershed, and the terrain. In general, smaller creeks may crest within a few hours to a day after the rain stops, while larger rivers with extensive watersheds may take several days to crest. Monitoring local weather forecasts, river gauges, and understanding the hydrology of the area can help predict when a creek or river will crest after a rain event.
"Crest" means the highest the water level is expected to get. "Flood stage" is the water level where the river is over it's banks, hence "flooding". A river can crest below, at, or above it's flood stage. It can crest three inches above flood stage (innocuous) or fifteen feet above flood stage (a disaster). Or anywhere in between. Or below flood stage. Every river, every spring, is different.
Rain hitting down hard on the ground makes rivers form.
